Instructional Ideas

• Create a flipped classroom assigment; provide pupils with the link to watch at home saving class time for discussion
• Follow along with a laser pointer to direct class members' attention to key details
• Take screenshots of important information and display them as reference posters around the classroom 

Classroom Considerations

• An ad appears at the start of the video 
• Scholars should be familiar with vowels and consonants

• This video is hosted on YouTube

Pros

• The narrator speaks clearly and not too fast
• The overall look of the video is simple and clean
• Examples are accompanied by fun graphics and voices 

Cons

• A lot of information is presented in a short amount of time. This may be challenging for some scholars; pause and replay as necessary
